The Sun tells the story of this American family from Indiana, who reportedly abandoned their adopted daughter Natalia and moved to Canada.

Indeed, the girl pushed her adoptive mother against an electric fence, poured bleach in her coffee, and tried to stab her father Michael in his sleep.

This was confirmed in court, and her legal age was changed. Natalia was actually born in Ukraine in 1989. Her biological parents are believed to have moved to the United States and left her in a home there.
Facing charges
In 2013, adoptive parents Kristen and Michael Barnett discovered her secret. According to Natalia's adoptive mother, “she had periods. She had adult teeth. She never grew a single inch, which would happen even with a child with dwarfism." Instead of reporting her and having her examined to confirm their suspicions, they decided to flee to Canada.
